The postoffice at Cedartown was rob
bed of $200 in money and $600 in stamps
last Saturday night. , The safe was ., blown
open. No clue to the robbers.
Mr. Gus Lee, who was tried for killing
a negro atCedartowu some months ago,
came clear. The jury was only about
eight minutes in making their voidict.
His many friends iu Haralson will be
glad to hear this.
An exchange contains this suggestive
observation: “Never judge a man by bis
appearance. A shabby old coat may con¬
tain an. editor, while the man wearing a
hightoned plug and supporting a dude
cane may be a delinquent subscriber.”
It’s right funny to seo how some news¬
papers are talking up certain men for the
next president of the State Alliance of
Georgia, and saying, “he’s a true Alli
aneeman,” when they know about as
much about a true Allianeeman as a cat
does.
The parents who undertake to satisfy
every whim and caprice of their children
and flatter themselves with the thought
of being benevolent an d Jffi id will some
day see their children become extrava¬
gant and sensual people whoso lot in this
world is failure and disappointment,—

A man who was afraid of thunder
crawled into a hollow log as a place of
safety during a thunder storm. The
thunder rolled, and the rain poured down
Iu torrents, and the old log began to
swell up tilt the poor fellow was wedged
so tight he could not got out. All his
past life began passing before him. Sud
denly he remembered he hadn’t paid his
newspaper subscription and he felt, so
small that he was able to back right out.

Tb©%i(jal newspaper should be found
in every home. No child should grow up
in ignor&nce who can be taught to
via to the home paper. It is the stepping
stone to intelligence in all those matters
not learned iu books. Give your
drew a foreign paper which, contains not
a word about any person, place or thing
they ever saw, or perhaps ever heard of,
and how can you expect them to be in
tcrested? But let them take the home
paper am?, read of persons whom they
meet, and with whom they are familiar,
and soon an interest is awakened which
increases with every arrival of the
paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed,
and those children will read the paper all
their lives and become intelligent men
and women, a credit to their parents,
strong in their knowledge of the world as
it is to-day.—Marietta Journal.

MBS. NIX S STATEMENT
“I went to sec the Afaroueys about two
weeks ago, and next morning when r was
leaving 1 went into the kitchen to get
drink of water. I saw the eoifee pot and
looked in to sec if there was any coffee
it. As there was none 1 cloned it and
walked out of the kitchen, meeting Mrs.
Maroney as I did so. Nothing was said
to me about , , the , poisoning then, , out ,
when I started in the evening { hoard of
the reports about me; but they didn’t
keep mo from going to Mrs. ifavouoy’s.
I went there and spoke to her of the re¬
ports and then left, and was afterwards
arrested at Mrs. Perry’s.”
The prisoner told the story quietly and
easily, without any uneasiness. She
made , as comfortable , , ,, a* possible , and . to- .
day some steps will bo token in her
case.
This is the second case of poisoning
which has presented itself before Rome's
tribunal in the past four months.
The matter has caused quite a ripple of
excitement in this city, and it is thought
that a thorough investigation will proye
the whole ihatter a canard.—Times.
“CHEEK” AS SEEX BY THE EMTOIL
There is a story afloat of a barber who
took a contract to shave a man by the
acre, and mado money out of it. That
man had considerable cheek, but now
and then one comes into newspaper oiB
ceswho might be shaved by the square
mile. There is Mr. B., a very wealthy
ruan, who writes a nice little note to his
dear little friend, the proprietor of the
Weekly Hangup:
My Dear Typo: The bearer of this, :
Mr, Brush, is a young artist of gre
ability. He is a friend of mine and
should like to introduce him to the pub
lie. Would you be kind enough to give
him a little notice iu your valuable col
unina. and state where his pictures can bo
found on sale. The public will thank you
and 1 shall esteem it a personal favor,
Your friend, etc.
He does not say “and send me the bill”
•
Ob, no! that’s quite another thing. He
would never think of writing a note to
the grocer: “Will yon kindly give my
friend, Mr. Brush, a barrel of flour,” ^ or
to a dry goo<is , house, , “Will you do me a
favor to , donate _ mv friend, Mr. Brush, a
bolt of calico?" let lie reads the notice
in the _ Bangui) and congratulates himself
on having t dona Mr. Brush a good turn
without realizing that he has sponged
from Mr. 1 _ ypo at least morth of time
and spac® and typesetting.
Dear Mrs. C. comes iu to see her friend,
V, Typo, «„,l g u S h„ ,h alss
glad to see him, and she knows how kind
lie is, always ready to help one in distress
and there is poor Miss D. who has such a
hard time to make a living, and she really
does such exqiute embrridory, and if
people only knew, she would easily get all
the work she could do, and would dear
Mr. 'i’ypo just insert a mention of the
fact and state that Mis D. could he found,
at such a place. “And you may say that
I recommend her.” And she smiles so
sweetly in her disinterested desire to
help the distressed, that Mr. Typo cannot
refuse, though the notice is money out of
his pocket that Mrs. C. could much bet
ter afford to pay. and goes away with the
- comfortable conscientiousness of having
performed a very cliaratable deed. It is
so easy tube charitable at some one rise’s
expense. Such appeals for tree advertis
ingare of almost daily occurrence. And
to the-credit of journalist* be it said, that
a really naedy application seldom

Some predict that the great change in

to t >e worn by women this coming season

Men will bold their breath in wonder
at the marv elous change it makes iu love¬

of The New r and Paris Young Ladies’
Fashion Bazar. “This magazine is

Mrs. Harrison is greatly fascinated
with the exquisite gem, costume No. 4,
